Uh oh, they are on to us...

Bad news people – they are on to us. Our plan to destroy the Democrats from within has been exposed. Not sure there is anything they can do to stop us now – but the press appears to be waking up to the fact that President Obama is a Republican plant. He got inside the Democrat party, and then started doing really loony things for which the Democrats will be blamed for generations! Just like we planned! Please – if anyone is approached by the press, remember, Karl Rove had nothing – NOTHING! – to do with this.

My only concern with the execution of the plan is that our man Obama is tanking things too early and too obviously. I mean really - tacking on a trillion dollars of debt in the middle of a recession? That is just too obvious an effort to discredit Democrats. The crazy people he has brought into his administration, the comical fumbling of foreign affairs, nationalizing the auto industry, wrecking the healthcare industry – just wacko stuff each and every day, all to create issues for the Republicans to clean the clock of the Democrats for years to come!

The plan has worked well my friends, maybe too well.

Wow – how low can he go?

This latest Rasmussen poll might cause a few waves tomorrow:



Obama support is completely collapsing. Pushing nationalized healthcare instead of focusing on 10% unemployment is going to be looked at by historians as a blunder of epic proportions. There are just 11 days left for the Democrats to jam thru Obamacare before the holidays put Congressmen back in their districts to face voter blow-back. If the Republicans can keep fighting for those 11 days and defeat the bill, the country will be able to breathe a huge sigh of relief. Ironically, if the Republicans succeed, it will probably be better for the Democrats in the 2010 election than if the Democrats succeed in jamming this legislation down the throats of voters.

That poll is showing a dramatic decline in voter support. Let’s see if the Democrats notice.

Tick Tock, Tick Tock

The Iranians are playing the US for fools, again. They keep promising that they might, someday, agree to stop developing nuclear bombs. Someday. Let’s just chat about it a bit more. Obama offers engagement, the Iranians are more than willing to talk while they build. In September Obama gave the Iranians until the end of December – OR ELSE! Or else there will be non-stop condemnations, and the UN may also offer sternly worded press releases. This has been going on for years, but apparently no one thought to brief our Commander and Chief. The time to fix the problem has passed, now we are just watching a slow-motion train crash.

The Israelis will make an attempt to fix the problem, probably in the next few months, and the mid-east will be at war once again. At that point the question will be whose side we are on – the Iranians or the Israelis. The administrations efforts to date have certainly left some large room for doubt on that issue.

Tick tock, tick tock.

Cracks in the Dam Global Warming Theory

Does anybody remember the movie “Force 10 From Navarone”? World Word II movie, Harrison Ford, Robert Shaw. At the end of the movie the good guys set an explosion in a dam, with the idea that when the dam explodes, the flooding water will take out a strategic downstream bridge. The explosion goes off, but the dam appears to be intact. Disappointed, the saboteurs are wondering what to do next when suddenly the dam begins to give way. It turns out the small blast was just enough to crack the foundation. It just took time and gravity to do the rest.

ClimateGate is the small explosive. The cracks in the dam have begun, and although the global warming mania has not collapsed overnight, it will. Time and gravity will do the job.

But in the meantime, we have our own Ed Markey, doubling down, not really concerned in the least that the core temp data has been dumped, not aware that he has been duped. From CBS News:
_________________________________________________________________
Markey, the head of a House global warming committee, said during a hearing that his Republican colleagues "sit over here using a couple of e-mails to (tell us) how to deal with a catastrophic threat to our planet." And: "There is no alternative theory that the minority is proposing, other than that we know has been funded by the oil, by the coal industries that want to continue business as usual."
_________________________________________________________________

Actually, there are some alternative theories: the sun is causing warming (why is that such a leap for the Democrats?), or the planet is not warming at all. Before massive energy taxes are implemented, the warming has to be proven – it’s not up to the ‘skeptics’ to prove the earth is not adhering to natural temperature variations.

The best commentary I have heard of the past few days comes from Daniel Henninger. He makes the observation that it is science that is under attack with the Global Warming group-think analysis. And I think that is why this issue has resonated along political lines – the Republicans reason with logic, we want to see the raw data. The Democrats reason with consensus – if enough people believe it is so, well then the issue must be ‘settled’. Better to just go along with the crowd than to create conflict with opposing ideas.

And that core difference carries to many other issues: healthcare ‘reform’ looks like a disaster when looked at logically. But the Democrats look at is and say ‘everyone thinks it’s a good idea, it must be a good idea’. The problem for Democrats is that a majority now think it is a very BAD idea, and I believe will make that point clear in the 2010 elections.

The war in Afghanistan is another good example. Senator Obama railed against the Bush plan to send more troops to Iraq. But when he actually has to make a policy decision based on logic, he decides to implement his own surge. It’s a move in the right direction, but it certainly makes his comments on the Iraq surge look naïve (when he was touting the Democrats consensus analysis). Many of his party peers are still searching for a clue (Frank, Markey, and Kerry to name a few).

If ClimateGate does nothing else, at least it has focused the debate on what analysis is sufficient to make sweeping policy changes. That can only help the Republicans, on a whole range of issues. The cracks in the dam are there, just wait for it.
